Yesterday (and early today) Bob and I experienced a surreal moment like no other. For those that don’t know, we had the first part of our 24 hour charity marathon for the Extra Life movement, a fundraiser in which gamers play video games for a whole day to help raise money for Children’s hospitals. It’s for a wonderful cause and it’s truly a blast to take part in. Honestly, I’m not sure how anyone could be in the dark about it at this point with how much I annoyed everyone’s newsfeed with links haha.

Now first off, I’d like to also congratulate all other MYIGNER’s who also participated in the Extra Life marathon! I know in particular Panditty and Rabbidgummibear really rocked the house!!! Way to go!!!

And like always, a thank you blog is required for the extremely generous and heartwarming donations that we receive from you MYIGNERs.

But this time…………….oh my god!

Never in my life could I imagine that Bob, Paul and I would come so far with this but i once again I underestimated MYIGN! Thanks to you wonderful wonderful people, we have raised a staggering amount of money so far. I have never been so touched by an act of kindness. There was a point during the stream, while playing Mickey, where we reached 710 dollars (our goal was 200 mind you XD) and I actually began to tear up. I had to stop playing for a second to take it all in. MYIGN, you have once again showed me the definition of community, friendship and support.

Last year, we raised a wonderful 310 dollars for Extra Life and i must say that to see that number more then triple this time is unreal. It's a statement that speaks for all of the support you've given us in not only Extra Life, but my Late Night Gamesters stream channel as a whole. We've truly come a long way. For that instant, i didn't think i could feel more uplifted at the sight of 710 dollars for charity.

And then……it happened again.

We made it to 1,000 dollars! Bob and I were at a loss for words. Never had I been so moved by the onslaught of support. Seeing the newsfeeds covered with advertisements for our stream was so heartwarming. I love you all so much!

Admit it, you only came for this!

I’m trying not to be cheesy here, but much like the Disney songs we played on stream, sometimes a little cheese is needed. Thank you all so so much! And another thank you for supporting LNG in general and helping us beat our record of 34 viewers at a time : )

Keep in mind, it’s all still going too with Bob’s streaming part 2! If you haven’t donated and would like to, we’d be eternally grateful. We can’t ask for more after everything you have done though.

I simply wanted to give you guys the thanks you deserved for my portion of the stream. It was unbelievable.

Especially to these people (I am very sorry if i miss anyone!)
